how to open and service thread on freewheels?
 
Hi, who has a video clip on that please? I am not sure where to open the axle and put grease in it again.
Thanks.

Freewheels do not need grease.
Freewheels only turn when coasting, and will do fine with a fairly runny oil.
The wheel bearing does need grease.
You don't need to open the f/w to get to that.
There may be a dust shield pressed onto the cone, or into the f/w.
Some gentle prying will remove that.
If you insist on opening the f/w, the tools most commonly used are pin wrenches or drift punches.

Christ man, do you need 5 different threads for working on your freewheel?
